what does ^:skip-aot mean in clojure project.clj

Question

I am new to clojure, when I use

lein new app

I saw this line

:main ^:skip-aot my-stuff.core

What does ^:skip-aot mean?

In which section of clojure document could I find the description?

Answer 1

It is Leiningen configuration. Have a look at : Sample project.clj.
